Australians are facing record-breaking electricity bills while the government insists on pushing renewable energy policies. In this episode of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux exposes the truth behind the skyrocketing energy costs and questions whether Net Zero policies are actually helping or hurting the economy.

Government Rebates vs. Reality
Many Australians rely on government rebates to offset their soaring electricity bills, but Jeremy argues that this isn’t a real solution.
At [04:33], Jeremy states:
“Rebates are a bandaid on a bullet wound. The problem is renewable energy policies.”
He explains that while subsidies may offer temporary relief, they don’t fix the root cause—unreliable energy production and over-reliance on renewables.
“They’re shutting down coal plants while pretending renewables can power the entire country. It’s fantasy.”

The Global Energy Comparison
While Australia shuts down six remaining coal-fired power plants, countries like China and India are expanding theirs at record speed.
At [08:14], Jeremy points out:
“China is building 1,171 coal-fired power plants, while Australia shuts its last six. What are we missing?”
The Australian government insists renewables will lower costs, yet the reality tells a different story. Countries using a balanced mix of energy sources (coal, gas, and renewables) have cheaper power prices than Australia.
“We’re paying more for electricity than ever before, despite record investment in renewables. How does that make sense?”

The Cost of Net Zero Policies
Net Zero has become a political talking point, but is it practical? Jeremy argues that blindly following green energy policies has left Australians with:
✔ Higher electricity bills
✔ Unreliable power supply
✔ More government intervention
At [12:45], Jeremy warns:
“We are heading for an energy crisis. When blackouts start, people will finally ask questions.”

What do You Think?
Australians are being forced to pay more for less, while the world’s biggest polluters continue to expand their fossil fuel usage.
Jeremy calls for an honest conversation about realistic energy policies, urging Australians to demand accountability from their leaders.
“Until Australians push back, we’ll keep paying the price for bad policies.”
